Butte semi-weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1886-1890, 1887-07-30

The talk of Postmaster-G General Villas for
Vice president is idle. He doesn't stand
the ghost OF a show for this distinction. His
administration of the Postal Department
has been very unsatisfactory, especially in
the West, where he is best known, and con
sequently least appreciated. But the
Democrats need not 60 beyond the depart
ments for q candidate for this trust. Gen:
eral Black, of the Pension Office, is the man
for the place, provided he can be induced
to accept it. He has a military record
which endears him to every mar who
has seen actual service. His fragile
body is loaded, with czrebel3 lead.
Every true soldier 50 of the. Republic.
and even his enemies can but respect
and honor. him. In. his. conduct OF the
pension office he has,ever been careful to,
draw the-line on those who, are not entitled
to every consideration from the govern
ment. The true soldier has always had
his ear, His administration of the affairs
OF the pension Office has been in the intel
est of the deserving and against the agents
and other ccormorants who would wax fat
off of the widows and the orphans OF the
dead heroes whose bones bestrew the sunny
land of the South in nameless graves. No
man in this country is more representative
than he OF the men who laid down their
lives that this land o.. liberty should SUR.
vive as an undivided and indivisible gov
ernment- '' ~ '' iH"H' " H-r -"

Abortive Attempt of q City Prisoner to
Shorten His Term of Service.
Officer Herman Weinecke has charge of g.
gang of city prisoners digging a drain up the
alley running west from Utah street, be-
tween Broadway and Granite, to connect
with the sewer in Utah street. Yesterday
morning a prisoner named Stetson was
among the gang, and, rebelling at the indig-
nifty OF being forced to labor publicly in a
criminal capacity, he made a break for
liberty while Weinecke's back was turned
to him and ran up Granite to Main.
Weinecke ran after him in hot pursuit and
fired a shot in the air which only Increased
his speed. Turning up Main he was making
a bee line for Walker vile, when he was
stopped at the corner of Quartz and handed
over to Weinecke, who brought him pack and
put a ball and chain ON his leg, and set him
at work again. Marshal Jolley came along
and ordered the attachment off and gave
the officer instructions to prevent a repeti-
ton OF the offence in Stetson's hearing of
such a deterrent character that it had the
effect of suppressing any desire on the
latter's part to run the risk again.

Joined the Great Majority.

Lille Gears, a young woman known for
two or three years past to men about
town as a beer jerker at various resorts
where such women ply their vocation, died
yesterday of the measles. She was to ken
sick only last Friday: but the disease
struck in instead Of coming out. 1t was
stated by n who knew something of her
past that she had been married to a man
OF high business standing in Kansas City
and that she came OF good family. How
she came to leave her husband and fell
from grace was not stated. She is said to
have come here Fl: m Leadville, and had a
passing notoriety last spring in connec-
ton with the death Of Tom Adair, the
piano-p'ayer, who died from the effects OF
Overdose" Of morphine. He had d
fancy for her and the rumor circulated that
he had committed suicide on her account.
She had no particular personal ATTRACTIONS,
but was rather an exception to her class
from the fact that she was quiet and I'M
obtrusive in her demeanor. Her funeral
takes place to-day at 2 o'clock.

Philipsburg Rioters Trial To-Day.

One of the men who met with such rough
treatment at Philipsburg last Friday,
Louis De Mars, was in town yesterday. He
up to engage counsel to prosecute the
case against his assallants who will be
tried at Deer Lodge to-day. He and his
companion, Tolman, are not the least
daunted by their terrible experience at the
hands of the vigilantes, but intend to
prosecute the men now under arrest at
Deer Lodge to the full extent of the law and
will afteru ards sue them for damages in
civil suits. They intend to remain at
Philipsburg and work their property, hav-
ing sent East for machinery to
aid in developing 1T They apprehend
no further trouble at Philipsburg. In this
connection a gentleman of high standing in
this city said to Ii reporter yesterday that
there was far too little respect shown for
law. The man who acts as these men did
at Philipsburg in taking their supposed
enemies from their beds and making them
leave town did not understand the first
principles of American citizenship. No
punishment is too severe for such lawless-
ness. One of the first things that should
be taught in the schools, said he, is re-
spect for the law, and if our laws cannot
right our wrongs they can oon be amended
SO as to do so.

AN EXCITING SCENE.

A Train Plunges Through q Herd OF Sew
eral Thousand Cattle-Fifty-seven
Animals Killed..
Haley, (Idaho,) News-Niner: The pas
sengers on the Union Pacific overland train
which arrived at Omaha the other morn
ing, witnessed a thrilling scene when near
Pine Bluff station, west of Sidney. A herd
of several thousand cattle, ranging north
of the track, moving south, were excited
by a thunder storm and became almost
unmanageable. While the train was ap.
preaching a thunderbolt descended in the
midst of the herd and killed three of the
animals. This etampeded the herd, and
though a score of cowboys strove to head
them off, the Heightened mass rushed for
ward. struggling across the track
in the path of the train. %1nvolun-
tarily the engineer set the
brakes, but realizing that he would ditch
his train if he ran slowly, he took off the
brakes, threw the throttle wide open and
plunged into the herd at the rate of As
miles an hour. A passenger who described
TIE scene says the steers flew in the air in
all directions as the engine struck them,
and some struck the roofs Of the passenger
ears in their descent. The train passed
through the living drift in safety. When
it backed up to see if any OF the cattle we're
hurt, 81 dead STEERS were counted.
